"The idea is, I guess, you can do in some sense, the moral equivalent of what NTP does with the two middle timestamps. Where there are two timestamps in NTP that come from the server that’s reporting time. It’s like when it receives and then when it sends out and you get to subtract out from the added noise that gap between those two timestamps, and then the idea is you can do this over and over again across the network, and so delays and noise are introduced by, for example, queueing on the switch, would go away. Like you would essentially know how much those delays were and as a result, you could potentially be much more accurate." In other words, every node of the network starts clapping, and listening to others. If it's off-beat, it'll adjust. Humans do the same kind of heartbeat synchronisation all the time: with hand clapping, finger clicking, drumming fingers, dancing to flashing lights... the unity makes us feel more connected and builds trust because we have something in common. Thank our mothers for teaching us to clap when we were babies. And thank the Source of our universe's clock, whose power can place a breakpoint and pause the debugger whenever we call on His name.
